Port St Mary Commissioners is urging residents not to 'struggle in silence' and to reach out to local organisations for support. 

Chair Jean Teare says it's important for social housing tenants to contact the housing officer if they feel they're getting behind on rent payments. 

The local authority is open on 30 and 31 December and 2 January for residents and tenants who need support. 

Mrs Teare says there are various organisations residents can call for help during the festive season.
